Learn the techniques and the language to stage human sexuality in a way that is professional, dynamic and focused on storytelling.
Workshops introduce specific techniques to help actors access their vulnerability in a dramatic context, resulting in powerful chemistry between characters without compromising personal boundaries. Focus is on subtle and specific details in choreography, and on acting exercises to keep partners connected physically and emotionally. It’s an exploration of vulnerability within a dramatic context for the purpose of telling the story of the scene. We’ll also touch on suggestions for Best Practices, issues of consent, and psychological safety.

What people are saying about working with Siobhan:
“Had a great experience learning about this work with Siobhan Richardson and Jade Elliott this year, and would recommend an intimacy choreographer to any director.” Michael Bradley, director
“Thank you so much for your work today. It was so inspiring watching you work and I feel like I learned so much. You made the women feel totally comfortable and safe and I love what you came up with. Feeling very grateful to have had your eyes on the project.” – Claren Grosz, PencilKit Productions
